Ingredients
Method
- Pour the chicken bone broth into a small saucepan and sprinkle the agar-agar powder evenly over the surface.
- Let the mixture sit off the heat for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the agar-agar to bloom and fully hydrate.
- Place the saucepan over low to medium heat and whisk continuously until the mixture is steaming and the agar-agar is fully dissolved, about 3 to 4 minutes; do not boil.
- Whisk in the parsley and turmeric, if using, until evenly distributed with no visible streaks.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for 2 to 3 minutes until warm but not very hot.
- Place silicone treat molds or a lightly greased small glass dish on a tray or cutting board for easy transfer.
- Carefully pour the warm broth mixture into the molds or dish, filling each cavity or the dish evenly and skimming off any foam if desired.
- Transfer the filled molds or dish to the refrigerator and chill for 45 to 60 minutes, until the gummies are firm and bouncy to the touch.
- Remove from the refrigerator and gently release the gummies from the molds, or cut the set slab into small bite-sized cubes if using a dish.
- Place the gummies in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator until serving.
Notes
- Store gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the gummies for up to 2 months and thaw portions as needed.
- Always use bone broth with no onions, garlic, or added salt, as these are harmful to dogs.
- Serve about 1 to 2 small gummies per 20 pounds of body weight daily as a supplement, unless your veterinarian advises otherwise.
- Do not leave gummies at room temperature for extended periods, as they are perishable.
- You may substitute beef bone broth for chicken, or stir in a small amount of cooled chamomile tea, pureed vegetables, unsweetened apple puree, or dog-safe salmon or flaxseed oil for variation.
- Proper blooming and dissolving of agar-agar are essential for a smooth, non-crumbly gummy texture.
